tess-cli 0.33.0

A less-style terminal pager for files, pipes, and live logs — with structured-log filtering, pretty-printing (JSON/YAML/TOML/XML/HTML/CSV), ANSI passthrough, multi-file navigation, and ctags jumping. Rust, macOS + Linux.
Documentation
//! Pure image → ASCII-art kernel. Decodes nothing and touches no terminal;
//! callers pass an already-decoded `RgbaImage`. Mirrors `render`'s discipline:
//! plain inputs, plain cell outputs, exhaustively unit-tested.
